Yes, people don't realize the lines of the school district have a big affect on the neighborhoods too. You can be in the exact same zip code, but in two different school districts, and the two neighborhoods are completely different, even if in the same zip code.That is true for a LOT of places. Sometimes even within the same school district AND zip code -- I live in an area that has two extremes.... Down by the water it's one of the most affluent areas in Suffolk county, and one of the prettiest too. Cross a road, and it's a solid middle class area. Cross another road and it's a transition neighborhood between affluent and dead poor. Cross the Railroad tracks and you are in one of the WORST neighborhoods in Suffolk county. Cross a highway north of that, and you are in a lower middle class stable neighborhood again. It's the classic "right and wrong" side of the tracks neighborhoods......and it's all the same zip code (name) AND school district! |
